Oh and there was a problem with the plastic tubes, once I figured out that they were to protect the car from the bolts. Of course they wouldn't fit in the 1/4 inch holes that they told me to drill. I had to drill larger holes to finally get them in. And I had to cut half of them off. Anyway, it's all installed and looks great. I've already found myself reaching for it, and I'm sure it will help my wife a lot, since she's shorter than I am.

Ok finally all done, after lots of swearing, bleeding, scraping arms, and a trip to the hardware store. The #$%^& bolts were too short to get the nuts on, using all the washers. Didn't read this post, so kept trying. Got the left one on, but the right just wouldn't go. Then the nut fell off the right, which happened a lot, but this time it totally disappeared. I looked everywhere. So off to the hardware store to but another. While there I bought a thinner rubber washer and a thinner metal washer. With those, I could finally get the **** nut on.



Thanks again for the help.

How is it going? I "miss" your progress reports...LOL

Just use the handle bar, rubber washer against the body of the rear gate and then, from inside, ss steel washer and self-locking nuts....that is what I have done on my 2013 OB.
